I would like to see a Multiband Mimo PMP System similar to what is being developed in the LTE-Advanced RF protocol, where a BaseStation can use various spectrum bands to talk to CPEs... Imaging having an AP with multiple RF Sections using 2.4,3.x,5.x and aggregate all bands in a single Layer

Hi Gino, I wonder if our new 3 in 1 Sector Antenna design will be useful in this application that you mention here. We are designing this to save space and lower tower costs and we can fit different frequencies, gains polarization. We will also be able to mix Sector and Panel antennas in

There hasn't been much innovation in the marketplace, just going faster. I'm not sure if I'd want to see your idea first or multi-radio beamforming. I think it'd be nice to have multiple streams coming out of a given antenna being directed towards different clients. - Mike Hammett

That'd be one sexy product Gino. Two obvious challenges: 1. Lack of international unity in spectrum used for BWA, which hurts the ability to get to commodity pricing. Of course, this is already being done with 802.11n though, which supports both 2.4 GHz (802.11g compatible) and 5 GHz. 2. The

Why? the great thinkg is that you could have single band cpes for low bw customers and multiband cpes for higher BW customers. Imagine using 20 mhz from 2.4,3.65,5.2,5.4 and 5.8 that's 100 mhz channel, with 64 qam and 2x2 mimo is about 800-900 mbps of data!!! Gino A. Villarini

I think that there are some common bands that would allow a wide market, 2.4 ghz, 3.x ghz and 5.x ghz are fairly widespread, the challenge is to SCALE as you say... that is something that UBNT achieved using wifi chipsets. The way I see its is that you might need to think out of the box to

I think the general consensus is that UBNT is abandoning standard WiFi chipsets in their next version of AirMax since they're reached the limit of what they can do. I'm thinking they'll be more like AirFiber than the current AirMax. - Mike Hammett Intelligent Computing Solutions

I'd argue that the existing Wi-Fi scale allowed Ubiquity to do what they do. Ergo, the scale happened before them and that's what allowed their commodity and disruptive pricing to work. Ubiquity is killing the res WISP market, but its total volume registers not even a blip in terms of total
